The memory efficient version

#!/usr/bin/perl --
use strict;
use warnings;
use File::Find::Rule qw/ find rule /;
my $count = 0;
my $size  = 0;
rule(
    file =>
    name => [ map {"*$_"} @ARGV ],
    exec => sub {
        ## my( $shortname, $path, $fullname ) = @_;
        $size += -s _; ## or use $_
        $count++;
        return !!0; ## means discard filename
    },
)->in('.');
